By the editors · 2 min readA single rose commands the opening of Aoud, clear and high-pitched, before the fragrance descends into a dense thicket of spice. Saffron, cinnamon, clove, and nutmeg arrive in sequence rather than all at once, each distinct against the oud — which reads less smoky than resinous, closer to aged wood than petrochemical char. Honey and patchouli ground the dry-down, the overall effect shifting from elaborate to intimate.
This is a perfume for still evenings, suited to the wearer who wants a thoroughgoing oriental without the harshness that sometimes accompanies oud.
